RME HDSP 9632

RME HDSP 9632

With the Hammerfall DSP 9632, RME presents probably the most versatile PCI interface card in the world. With this card, the dream of the All-In-One Solution has become reality for every application. As always with RME without lazy compromises: the latest AD and DA converters with 192 kHz and over 110 dB signal-to-noise ratio, all inputs and outputs can be used simultaneously, simple expansion with high-quality analog inputs and outputs, TotalMix, a completely newly developed, sensational clock generation with maximum jitter suppression with external synchronisation - all this results in a professional 'sound card' that the world has never seen before, but has long longed for.

After clicking on the hammer symbol in the systray of the task bar, the configuration dialog of the HDSP 9632 appears. The clear, structured structure and the unique, informative status windows for input signal, clock modes, sample rate and time code make working with the Hammerfall DSP a pure pleasure. With a simple mouse click you have the full power of the card at your disposal.

With several digital inputs, it is particularly important to be informed not only about the lock states, but also about the synchronicity of the signals. RME's exclusive SyncCheck ® checks all inputs and outputs the result in plain text, and thanks to Intelligent Clock Control (ICC) you always have clock settings and synchronization under control.
